Name[edit]

"Daugavpils ghetto" ~22 results. "Dvinsk ghetto - 26 results. Perhaps the article should be moved? The difference is not major, however. At the very least the article neds to be renamed to use capital Ghetto as other articles in Category:World War II ghettos, I'll move it to non-controversial Daugavpils Ghetto for now. "Dünaburg ghetto" - a few hits meriting a redirect. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 11:34, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on the sources. The Russian name for this city is Dvinsk and the German name is Dünaburg. The Latvian name is of course Daugavpils. The main sources used for this (Ezergailis, Iwens, Frankel-Zaltzmann, and Kaufmann) all use Daugavpils. All the names mean the same thing, which is simply "city by the Dvina/Düna/Daugava river"). Overall, I would recommend sticking with the Latvian names for the Holocaust events in Latvia, for example Liepāja massacres rather than "Libau massacres", and Jelgava massacres rather than "Mitau." There are some exceptions, for example Kaiserwald concentration camp rather than Mežaparks but there may be good reasons for this.Mtsmallwood (talk) 23:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Perpetrators

Einsatzgruppe A was assigned by Reinhard Heydrich to kill the Jews of the Baltic states, including Latvia. Franz Walter Stahlecker was in command of Einsatzgruppen A. The Einsatzgruppen operated in smaller squads known as Einsatzkommandos. Latgale and Daugavpils were assigned to Einsatzkommando 1b, who, under Erich Ehrlinger, had killed about 1150 people, mostly Jews, by July 11, 1941.[9] "

Latgale , probably the name of a region, rather than a man's name.172.14.57.185 (talk) 05:29, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
